As you most know Tuesday’s in Trelawnyd signify Choir day
Covid has put pay to a proper choir practice for months and even though perhaps just half of my fellow choristers have managed to soldier on in a zoom format
The resulting efforts have always been somewhat disappointing
This morning my fellow village altos and I got together for coffee and cake . Heulwen has been shielding since March and has been careful with contact with Hattie and I as we have been working in the front line.
This morning we will meet properly and it will be lovely to catch up in a relaxed way for the very first time( I will post the photos later)
Hattie refers to the three of us as the Trelawnyd Sandwich which is pleasing.
We play a family of sorts, three generations playing pragmatic mother, doting uncle and Dutiful daughter and there is something incredibly freeing having friends that cover such an age gap and differences
Tonight ( and I will post the photographs a bit later) our sandwich meets up with the choir , hopefully in its entirety . Conductor Jamie ( hopefully sporting his 1940s RAF moustache) has arranged for us to meet up outside at the village hall! Welsh government rules mean that we are still unable to sing inside , but we are all hoping that we may be able to join in together , at least once a bit later.
I have missed Choir so very much
I cannot stress just how wonderful it is to produce something that can sound so beautiful almost from nothing .......

Good luck with the meeting!
ReplyDeleteSo many activities have been interrupted for months! And Zoom is just not the best format for most things. I despise it. Thank goodness for the mute button.
XOXO
Which of you is the filling?
ReplyDeleteI’m the spam filling
DeleteYou'll have to sing "Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head" tonight plus "In The Early Morning Rain" and "Singing in the Rain".
ReplyDeleteWe will find the way to create new norms. Looking forward to the pics.
ReplyDeleteIt wouldn't sound beautiful if I attempted to sing. I'd be asked to leave.
ReplyDeleteAh, but the only requirement is "a joyful noise", not a melodic one! Sing on!
DeleteHugs!
Enjoy choir tonight. Another little bit of normality slowly creeping back. x
ReplyDeleteany little bit of normality is so rewarding these days.
ReplyDeletebeing outside is a good thing. looking forward to the pix.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy seeing everyone again!
ReplyDeleteHow great to be able to meet up and sing outside!
ReplyDeleteHope it is not raining there this evening - it has been a wet day here.
ReplyDeleteyour multi generational friend group touched my heart. I miss mine...
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you're all going to get to meet up again!
ReplyDeleteA bit of normality is comforting these days.
ReplyDeleteSo great to see friends and neighbors in real time. Keep your masks on, especially if you are singing! No Trelawnyd super spreaders! xoxo
ReplyDeleteOutside sounds lovely John and even if it's raining it should be fun x(I love being out in the rain)x
ReplyDeleteIt seems, everything is interrupted in some way. Choir outside sounds great. Seeing everyone together even with required social distance will be nice for all. You are very fortunate to have many true friends.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like singing outdoors would be wonderful. Is the forecast for rain as Yorkshire Pudding's witty comment suggests?
ReplyDeleteI've always loved that even those who cannot play a musical instrument can make music by singing.
Enjoy whatever format choir takes. :)
Hugs!
How lovely to meet up with friends again. Enjoy your evening x
ReplyDeleteEnjoy seeing your friends again! I hope Jamie has his 1940s RAF moustache! ; )
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to see the choir intact on the green. I cannot see the mustache, but I know it is there.
